B.
In a world marked by ongoing crises, where the future often feels distant and uncertain, one fundamental need remains: the desire to find beauty — in people, in places, in fleeting moments.
But what defines beauty? Our perception is anything but objective. It is shaped by emotion, and influenced by social, commercial, and political forces. What happens when our surroundings feel grey, when fear overshadows wonder?

“B.” invites us to reexamine our ideals of beauty. In times of upheaval, this work opens up perspectives for reflection and change: to embrace what we may have overlooked, embrace diversity, and abandon rigid norms. It is a poetic invitation to a more inclusive and open way of seeing.
